Analyze a song

I analyzed "The song that never ends" by Lambchop. It's speaker is someone who is happy. The occasion is just to be able to sing for however long they would like. The audience is anyone who dares to listen or wants to join along. The purpose it to be happy and make everyone around them want to join in. The subject is just the song. The tone is excited and happy.
There are also some poetry techniques that are used in it. In the "last" two lines there is a caesura and it also lets you choose if you want to make another caesura by beginning it again by ending it with a sentence that is dependent on the first line. SInce it is such a small song they were able to put end rhymes and slant rhymes all over the place to make it seem more catchy.
